entitled " The footballer, his two lovers and a scandalous gagging order"

Aledgedly some Premier League footballer who plays " in the North" has been having illicit relationships with two women (one a lap dancer. when threatened with exposure in a tabloid the player took legal action to gain an injunction stopping the paper from publishing the story.

The player is descirbed as "a player who gives his all both on and off the pitch ,who is married with a family who is well known to soccer fans but is not a celebrity name like Beckham or Owen"; "A boy from a poor home and a family who have always loved their football". The player is not a big enough name to warrent an exposure with just one girl ,but with two the paper was all set to publish his duplicity. and his manager thinks he sets a fine example for his other players.

I was trying to guess who it could be last night . Any ideas ??
